Paul Plamper is one of the most original and productive radio play and audio artists in Germany. His audio installation “Subservient Ghosts” deals with opposing migratory movements and only seemingly distant times: in 1905 a destitute young woman, spoken by Sandra Hüller, leaves Berlin and emigrates to the German colony of Cameroon. In 2015, a young man from Cameroon sets off for Germany. Europe’s colonial power and the consequences as parallel assembly.

The audio installation was premiered at the Ruhrtriennale 2017. The radio play was awarded the German Radio Play Prize 2018.
